For many years Westmounters have enjoyed taking a picnic lunch down to the lagoon in Westmount Park to enjoy an afternoon of music. Once again this summer impresario Bob Burman had choreographed a series of concerts that will satisfy music aficionados of all genres. The concerts will begin this Sunday July 11 at 2 p.m. with entertainment from L'ensemble Du Carré St-Louis.
Since its formation in 1982, the trio comprised of a flutist, cellist and guitarist has presented its extensive repertoire of classical jazz, popular and traditional music in 15 European and South American countries in addition to Canada. In case of rain the venue moves indoors to Victoria Hall. For more information phone Virginia at community events at 514-989-5265

“This exhibition represents an opportunity to view another side of those individuals who daily serve the Westmount community but no less an opportunity for the artists to share their passion with a larger public.”
The exhibition consists of works that include photography, watercolours, acrylics on canvas, Indian ink and oil on steel plate by 11 Westmount employees from communications to public works to recreation to community events departments and more.
